ANGELINA Jolie left Brad Pitt because he was thwarting her ambitions to be the next Princess Diana, says the biographer who predicted the megastar couple's divorce.

According to Ian Halperin, author of Brangelina: The Untold Story of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the actress "flew into a terrifying rage" after Brad refused to let her move to the UK with their six children to pursue her political ambitions.

In an explosive argument six days before the famous incident on the plane allegedly took place, Angelina told Brad she wanted him to stay in LA for his film career while she set up a permanent base at the couple's £15k-a-month rented home in Surrey, alleges Halperin in the Daily Mail.

He says Angelina, 41, wanted to continue the life work of the late Princess Diana, who was known for her work on landmines and on behalf of AIDS victims and whose life Angelina had studied in "minute detail".

Angelina famously shed her wild child image and reinvented herself as a humanitarian, working as a United Nations Special Envoy for Refugees and campaigning for the education of women in the developing world and against violence against women in war zones.

Allegedly she's become "obsessed" with emulating her close friend and confidante Arminka Helic by becoming a member of the House of Lords and using the platform to further her campaigning work.

She was even prepared to give up her US citizenship to do so, says Halperin.
